- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Market economies need competition to work. If there would be a competitor with cheaper offers, Amazon would be worth much less and letting employees go would end up as cheaper prices for every customer while the unemployed can quickly find a new job.
Who is willing to build a competitor?
Otherwise it's time for a planned economy.
More like "who can afford to build a competitor" when Amazon already has their 10,000 hrs in undercutting prices, surviving on a ~~raft~~ yacht of capital.
There is an abundance of money right now. People will be happy to get rid of their dollars if there is a company that can break even while competing with Amazon.
